Probably not :-\

Although new plates tend to take a couple of years off a car, visually, as they get quite faded over time. :y

£10+ each. Halfrauds make them while you wait, though most motor factors will do them, failing that, stealers :y

I was under the impression that number plate manufacturers needed to see the v5 for the vehicle and the driving licence of the person requesting new plates?

That's what is supposed to happen but the online boys seem to get away with it by selling "show" plates.

I don't doubt that for a second Rob,its just a way to get around the regs.I have the license to sell number plates and the list of requirements is a pain in the arris.

I got mine from the local vx dealer ;) I know them in there so they knock me a bit off but, £19.something for the pair, 'gb' and surround and 3d lettering so like 'all the extras' lol

Which reminds me, is '3D' lettering still legal????
